Emma Watson's photoshoot for Harper's Bazaar UK talking about university and LA scaring her



She tells the August issue of the magazine: 'Leaving Brown had nothing to do with bullying, as the media have been suggesting recently.

'I have never been bullied in my life. Like a lot of other students at Brown, I might spend my third year abroad.'

Although Watson is still musing over where to complete her studies, it appears her native England is unlikely to be an option.

When asked why she didn't originally chose an English university, Watson explained: 'I felt suddenly very claustrophobic...I thought, "I can’t stay here, I won’t be able to concentrate, I won’t be left alone."'

Since enrolling at university, Watson has been taking acting classes and admitted she was struggling to unleash her inner bad girl.

She said: 'My acting tutor said the hardest thing for me was to get angry. I almost broke down in tears when they tried to get me to be angry. I said, "I can’t do it, I just can’t do it."

'I keep all of that really bottled up somewhere and I feel unleashing it would be the scariest thing – and to let myself be powerful, sexy, all those things, it’s scary for me. [Even playing the bad girl in this shoot] felt a bit uncomfortable and awkward, it didn’t come naturally at all.'

While Watson is hoping to continue her acting career, she admits she finds Hollywood petrifying.

She admitted: 'LA scares the c**p out of me.

'I feel if I have to work out four hours a day, and count the calories of everything I put in my mouth, and have Botox at 22, and obsess about how I look the whole time, I will go mad, I will absolutely lose it.'

Emma Watson in Entertainment Weekly



“I have spent more of my life being someone else than I have being myself,” says Watson. The 21-year-old remembers how she used to exasperate the crew at Leavesden Studios by wandering around when she wasn’t shooting. “There was an orchard, a line of apple trees, on one side of the grounds. I would go down and walk around there. Those poor ADs! They must have had nervous breakdowns whenever I would disappear.”

Don't you DARE breathe on that baby!

Shhh dont disturb him. He's researching for his acceptance speech. For when he wins the Nobel Prize.


There's a new baby in our extended family circle. My little bro is a dad for the first time. Its a joy to see him and partner discover parenthood for the first time. And funny too. Because it reminds me of when i was mum-to-one.

*Baby#1 I didnt let anybody touch him. Breathe the same air as him. In case they had germs. The plague. Bad habits. Scabies. Tapeworm. Evil thoughts. Or in case they dropped him. Because of course everyone else was an idiot and didn't know anything about looking after a baby.

But by Baby #5 - I handed that child to anyone with two arms. Family, friends, neighbors, passing acquaintances, complete strangers. 'What a cute baby!' Yes she is, here why dont you hold her/ take her for an hour long walk/read her the entire Twilight series/ bring her back when she's toilet trained and earning a six figure salary.'

*On Baby#1 - I made all his food from only natural, organically grown Mother Earth bounty. He didnt eat sugar, salt or butter. And i wanted to kill people who thought it was cute to break the food rules and slip him additive-laden ice cream and lollies.

Baby#5 - She had the very best food that money could buy. In a bottle. A packet. A Happy Meal. Now, she doesnt even know what a vegetable is. I bribe her with chicken nuggets to do what I want. She wants oatmeal choc chip cookies for breakfast? Give em to her. Anything to shut her up. It's healthy, homemade fare isnt it? There's oatmeal in there.

Baby #1 - Listened to classical music in the womb. (The whole put-headphones on my fat stomach thing? Yes, I did that.) I read him Shakespeare and Keats poetry when he was a scrawny premature 3 pounder. And when he was a toddler, he didnt watch any junk cartoons. NO. Because I was determined, this child was going to have every brain neuron stimulated and extended dammnit! He was going to be disgustingly intelligent in every way.

Baby#5 - Ummm well, I listened to a lot of Nelly Furtado and Timbaland when she was in the womb. So much so that when she came out, I would play it and she would stop crying. Truly. And i watched a lot of Desperate Housewives when I was breastfeeding her at 3am. I'm not sure what she's learned from THAT. She's extremely clever though. She knows all the words to every episode of Dora. And Little Bill. And Wonder Pets.

So yes, I understand the new parents desire to only do the very bestest for their child. When i see my new nephew, I make sure I don't breathe on him. Try to hold him too much. And I certainly wont be slipping him candy when he's eating his all-organic homemade baby cuisine. Because I've been there. And when the new parents eventually have 2,3,4 children? I will lend them our collection of Dora. Offer to babysit and feed their kids chicken nuggets. And cookies. Because they're healthy...there's oatmeal in there dammnit!

How about you parents out there? Have you noticed a change in the parent you were THEN and the parent you are NOW?

Emma Watson is a diva for Life & Style Magazine - New picture

People will say what they want, getting hair and make-up done while texting is not my definition of Diva. And I'm not saying that because it's Emma.
And I also think this is not something to take at the 1st degree.

New interview of Emma Watson for Vogue UK about her collaboration with Mark Demsteader

EMMA WATSON is the star of a new exhibition by one of her favourite artists, Mark Demsteader. In this exclusive interview, the actress tells us how it compared to her Vogue cover shoot - and about the education charity the sale will benefit.

Tell us about how you came across Mark's work?

"I grew up in Oxford and used to walk past a gallery on my way home from school that sold his work. I would stop and look at his pieces, and try and figure out how he did them for hours. I've always followed his work."

How did the collaboration come about?

"I went home to Oxford and saw his pieces again and realised I should really try and buy some of his work. I've haven't really bought any art yet, even though I love it. So I contacted Mark about buying a drawing as a present to myself for my 21st birthday. When I emailed him he asked if I would let him paint me, and that was how the exhibition came about. I was slightly hesitant at first, not because I didn't want to work with Mark, but simply because I wasn't sure if I was comfortable with an entire exhibition of pictures of me! But Mark said I could do it for a charity of my choice, and I really couldn't pass up the chance to actually be in one of his paintings. I am so glad I did it."

How long did you spend sitting for Mark?

"As it takes Mark several months to create the pieces, he finds it easier to work from photographs so I met him and a photographer for a day's photo shoot in north London back in January. It was a really simple shoot with just a single light to cast shadows. We took lots of pictures in a variety of poses and Mark went away and selected 30 or so to turn into paintings."

How does the process being painted compare to being photographed - like your Vogue cover shoot?

"Whilst I didn't sit for Mark as such, it was a completely different photo shoot to anything I've ever done before. It was really low-key - I did my own makeup and just brought a selection of very simple dresses for the silhouette. Mark did the lighting. Quite different to my British Vogue cover shoot in 2010 which involved a huge team of professionals!"

What do you think of the finished works?

"I am thrilled with how they have come out; they are beautiful. Mark is so talented - I wish I had a fraction of his skill!"

Which is your favourite?

"It is very hard for me to choose a favourite as they are all beautiful. However I think my favourite is the oil painting in a yellow dress."

Will you buy one?

"I absolutely would have bought one but Mark was very generous and actually gave me one of the paintings as a thank you. He gave me the oil painting I mentioned above."

Tell us about the charity the sale will benefit.

"CAMFED works with girls in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Ghana and Tanzania. Without their efforts, millions of girls in these countries wouldn't be able to go to school to get an education and to improve their and their family's lives, and this is mainly due to poverty. Families in poorer rural areas in Africa simply can't afford to buy books or pay school fees for all their children, so they have to make the difficult choice as to which of their children should receive an education. Girls are rarely chosen as traditionally it has always been perceived that boys had a better chance of getting a paid job after graduation. I'm lucky enough to live in a country that gives me an equal right to my schooling: I've never had to contend with the kind of prejudice and sexual discrimination women in these countries deal with every day. My education has been so empowering, and has given me such stability and independence, and the idea of giving other girls the opportunities I have been lucky enough to have makes me very happy. CAMFED works extremely hard to raise money to sponsor girls through primary school, secondary school, college and professional schools to give them the opportunities they might otherwise have missed. Not only does this allow girls in these areas to better achieve their potential academically and in their careers, it also improves their quality of life in other ways, through education about HIV for example. It is a sustainable and long term solution to some very difficult problems, and by supporting these young girls is able to make a huge difference. It is a fantastic charity and I hope to work with them further in the future."

"...and behold, it was VERY good."

When was the last time YOU gazed delightedly upon something you created and said, "That's really good! Daayummn, I'm kind of clever/talented/gifted/brilliant! Well done, me.You worked hard on this and it rocks!"

I'm guessing you dont do that very often. Why? Because a lot of us, especially women, are programmed to be our own worst detractors. We poison our own wells with criticism, negativity,and self-loathing. Stirred in with a generous dose of guilt. Not only that, but we usually think that its not right to praise ourselves or to take pride in our own achievements. We could do to take a few tips from the all-time greatest creator and artistic genius. God.

If you believe in God ( and doesn't necessarily have to be the same God that i believe in), then you probably have no objection to my describing God worshipfully as - the greatest designer EVER. I see evidence of that everywhere, in the gentle perfection of a frangipani flower, the majesty of a starfilled sky, the feel of golden sand beneath my feet, even the gurgle of a happy baby. But you know, when God was done with making everything, even He took a moment to savor it. To say, 'Wow, I made that and its beautiful! This work really is glorious!"

"In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth...and God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good." The Book of Genesis.

He didnt say, 'ohmigosh Antarctica is just sooooo bland with all that white, I knew I should have sprinkled a bit of colour there...and what was I thinking when i made cockroaches?...and the moon? Its just so dead. Messy. Incomplete. Not even a hint of happiness on it anywhere, talk about a failure...' No. He delighted in what he had made. All of it.

How about you? Look around you - what achievement are you particularly proud of? What nifty little thing are you really good at that you should pat yourself on the back for? Is there something that you worked hard on and the result was splendid? And Im not talking about finding the cure for cancer or earning a million dollars last month. ( but if you did that - then heck, shout it from the rooftops! woohoo!) No, I mean the regular, everyday kinda stuff. I will never forget the day i first made soap. To take completely unrelated, mundane ingredients, combine them together and end up with something completely new - that you could actually bathe with - was a thrilling experience. I did that. Me, Lani the domestically challenged, I made soap. And it was very good. I get the same feeling of achievement when i make pickles. Or try a new brownie recipe and the Fab5 love it. Sometimes, I come across an essay I wrote at Uni, a story I published in a Lit Journal somewhere, read it and think, "Ohmigosh, did I really write that? That's good. I didnt know I could write like that!" Its rare. But when I do allow myself to 'check out' my own handiwork with a generous eye - it feels good.

Now its YOUR turn! Tell us what you've made/created/achieved lately that you're proud of.

Everyone who leaves a comment on this post, will go into the draw to win one of TWO sets of coconut oil soap, lotion and body oil from Coconut Queen Products. ( aka made by ME!) Leave a comment before July 12th when the winners will be announced. You can see some pictures of stuff I used to make here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30957304@N08/page2/

More about the Interview (Thanks Just Jared)
On relationships and whether she’s a good “game player”: “No! I’m a terrible game player. I’m so impatient – it’s one of my worst traits! If I want to see someone, I want to see them, and if I don’t, then I don’t. My friends are always telling me I have to play hard to get because I’ll pretty much say to a guy, ‘I like you – let’s go hang out.’ But my friends are like, ‘You can’t do that! You have to string this guy along.’ And I’m just like, ‘No! I won’t! I just want to go on the date!’ It’s a nightmare – I definitely haven’t figured it out yet.”

On which Harry Potter costar she had a crush on: “For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton. He was my first crush. He totally knows. We talked about it – we still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that’s cool.”

Some quotes from the exclusive Interview :

“I’ve never understood having crushes on people who you don’t know in real life. I only crush on people I meet. I mean, I can appreciate that someone is good-looking, obviously, but I don’t intend to fantasize about people I don’t know!”
“I try to avoid wearing black because sometimes it’s the easy option. But I’m young, so it’s nice to be able to play with color and not just wear black all the time. I can save that for when I’m older.”
“I dance a lot and I run and do yoga and play field hockey and tennis. I like to be active. I don’t always have time for that stuff, but I do always feel better afterward.”
“If I hadn’t done Harry Potter, I would have gone and done years of art. I really do love it, and I’d love to write.”
“Reducing your life down to three pairs of jeans, two skirts, a couple of shirts, and a few pairs of shoes was so nice for me. I really loved living in this tiny room where I didn’t’ have space for anything. It sounds really lame, but it made me feel a lot more free, because I just didn’t have as many choices.”
“I still have friends from primary school. And my two best girlfriends are from secondary school. I don’t have to explain anything to them. I don’t have to apologize for anything. They know. There’s no judgment in any way.”
“Most of my friends are doing their third year abroad so I might do my third year abroad as well, and then come back for my last year. I hope I could do that.”
